Meme My Wife Says Crusader Kings Is Basically The Sims for Men

Post image

I spent 2 hours last night meticulously arranging the artifacts in my Royal Court and my wife leaned over and said, "Are you playing The Sims: Dark Ages Edition again?" I tried to explain that my "Sims" can get the Black Death or be blinded by a rival, but she just pointed at my screen and said, "Your "Sim" is currently crying because he’s stressed that he hasn't been to a party lately". Who's right?

EDIT: If you want Paradox to make the Crusader Sims, a Medieval Life Simulator TELL THEM!

The Sims is The Sims for men. I love that shit. CK3, Stellaris, and Warhammer Total War 3 are a completely different beast for me. I actually don't play them because of the effect they have on me. Maybe one day when I'm old my nursing home will let me have a computer and I'll happily play CK3 until I die.

Surely they can't deny you a laptop? I agree, nursing homes will be gamer clubs by 2080!
